Ya pics need to be linked from a hosting site.
I've used 3M double sided emblem mounting tape on some of my stuff, never a problem. I have a buddy with a 62 Galaxie that used it to hold the big side moulding on , been there almost 10 years no problem.
I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

Are all the pins intact on the letters?
Always called the fasteners 'barrel clips' but that may not be correct terminology....

In the past I've used a bit of RTV to secure an emblem with broken pins. If you make the panel and the back of the piece squeaky clean, just apply and tape it tight overnight. That stuff refuses to let go.

Assuming your letters have pins on the back for use with barrel clips, you can order then off Amazon.
